I'm a big Charles Bukowski fan and have been recently reading John Fante who was his mentor. I also like some of Clive Barker's earlier work and most of Louis-Ferdinand Céline and Dostoyofsky. I'm a closet Dean R Koontz and S. King reader too...but who isn't?

Then you know what my user name refers to, right?
Buk is God.
"Don't try"

-
Lots of philosophy (it's my major), dostoyevsky, fitzgerald, chekhov, hemingway, etc.
And getbig.
-
I dont read books anymore.
i used to read books.
I read all the trump books, i read a bunch of different politician's books and books from historical figures on politics, i read all the harry potter books, i read a bunch of different psychology books, i read kama sutra (i think thats what its called).
-
reading a book about greek mythology right now
pretty cool book
-
the holy Qur’an
-
Indeed. Just read it not long ago. I must say, the part where he kills the young boy is particularly disturbing. I almost stopped reading at that point out of pure disgust, which I'm sure was the author's intent.
Agreed its a sickening and perverted book, but it is compelling reading regardless. The level of detail that the book is written is amazing. Book much better than the movie
-
You are not wrong! It would be impossible to translate that detail from the book onto film, although the movie did a pretty good job.
Bateman has an overwhelming desire to fit in. Anything that is popular he attaches to. He is obsessive in his his actions and thought processes. I can only presume the author would have done it to really hit it home to the reader his mentally disturbed ways.

-
"the Holohoax" was quiet eye opening.

haha

dont read
-
I read lots! One book in particular - I must have read at least eight times. Not because it was such a great story but it takes that much reading on my part just to get a start on understanding it cause I ain't no genius when it comes to the smarts department.
The book is "Dancing Wu Li Masters" and it is supposed to be all about the basics of Quantum Mechanics.
I suggest that guys like Adonis and JonnyFalcon or anyone else with half a brain who may be interested in this sort of thing pick it up and give it a read. Once you get past the first 40 pages or so, it becomes one of the most fascinating reads imaginable.
I can almost guarantee that you'll be reading it more than once.
-
Currently reading "Not a Good Day to Die". It's about Operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. It's pretty disheartening to see all the screw ups of generals and pentagon. Soldiers on the ground are good to go, though.

Decline and fall of the roman empire - Edward Gibbon.

The Stories of English by David Crystal

'The Sea of Fertility' by Yukio Mishima.

i'm reading a great black comedy called 'the koran'.
its about this paedo, who after being beaten up by his wife, takes a huff, and decides to live with a goat on a mountain. one day he thinks up a greart idea to pretend he is gods messenger, and the locals are so dumb they believe him.
one way he gets them on side it to tell them god wants them to beat their women, and treat them like meat. They can also have 4 wives and rape any woman they like.
one day he fvcks a 9 year old, and steals his sons wife, along with wage wars, and a few other things.
great work of fiction.

Only Sammy The Bull's book and Warhammer pulp this year.

"A New World"
by Eckhart Tolle
Really dives into the Ego...
Cool, I just started with "The power of now" great stuff and will move onto "A New World" afterwards.
Letting go of the ego for good is tough.
-
CLUB Magazine.
-
WW2 stuff
-
Some of the books that have most influenced me include "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allen, "1984" by George Orwell, "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan, "Cheerleaders of Hump City High" by Tits McGee, and "Quo Vadis" by Henryk Sienkiewicz.
-
I found a bookshop with heaps and heaps of PG Wodehouse, so I'm a one dimensional reader these days but I'm happy.

good stuff...I believe that you don't ever lose the ego but recognize it and be able to manipulate it...And not the other way around...I'm at least 2 more lifetimes away from such a feat :D
-
Agreed, ego is not really meant to be lost I don't think, more to be understood for what it is and respected when necessary.

yes i truly believe that anyone who tries to fight against the negative energy in the world is fighting a losing battle...We all need the negative with the positive...The key is understanding what is the negative and bringing it in and filtering it out as quick as possible...Its only when you start to fck with it, it will end up pwning you...

Muscle by Jon Hotten is great
Not that it reveals anything we don't know, its just interesting to see how an outsider sees bodybuilding during a process of unveiling it's dirty and dark secrets.
